Redefining Self-Compassion

with Ralph De La Rosa
Thursday, January 16th
8-9:15pm
Souk Studio


“The door to the cage isn’t locked.”
—Ralph De La Rosa, Outshining Trauma: A New Vision of Radical Self-Compassion

 

Self-compassion has the capacity to heal everything. We don’t need to cultivate or strive for it, either (as so many have done). It’s already there, shining within you, waiting to be uncovered. We can glimpse it right away, and we can also open to a fully embodied experience of it. This evening will be aimed at showing you how to at least glimpse it, and perhaps go further.

 

Join us for an experiential book launch event for Ralph De La Rosa’s new work, Outshining Trauma: A New Vision of Radical Self-Compassion. Expect an evening of meditation and wisdom, integrating both Buddhism and the Internal Family Systems model. Book signing to follow.

 

Note: Each event in NYC will offer different talks and meditations.
You are welcome to attend just one or to attend multiple events as a series.

Ralph De La Rosa

Ralph De La Rosa (they/he) is the author of three books, including the new Outshining Trauma: A New Vision of Radical Compassion (foreword by Richard Schwartz). He is a psychotherapist in private practice and a longtime meditation teacher known for his radically honest and humorous approach. Perhaps most crucial is that Ralph walks the path of outshining trauma alongside the people he works with. He is a survivor of PTSD, heroin addiction, Borderline Personality Disorder, ADHD, and liver failure. Walking through these matters with the help of profound therapists and mentors has been an empowerment no school could have offered. It is simply part of his path to offer back what he’s been shown. Ralph has mentored personally with Richard Schwartz, founder of the Internal Family Systems model of psychotherapy, known for its efficacy in healing trauma. Ralph has completed an invite-only advanced teacher training with Jack Kornfield. His work has been featured in GQ, CNN, NY Post, Tricycle, Mindul Magazine, and beyond. He began practicing meditation in 1996 and has trained in a spectrum of yogic and healing traditions, including devotional Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism. Ralph began teaching Buddhist-inspired meditation in 2008. Today, Ralph identifies as practitioner and teacher of human spirituality. He teaches a highly specialized hybrid of IFS and Buddhism to offer students a direct path of conscious evolution and self-discovery. Ralph is an intersectional activist, musician, wannabe acrobat, and outdoor enthusiast currently residing in Seattle, WA.
